<h4>Chapter 405: Soul Mutation!</h4>
The Incarnation''s size started to shrink at an unimaginable speed and soon transformed into a small parrot!
But unlike before, this Fire Bird appeared more like a real bird. It had actual red feathers, ckish-red legs, a red beak, and three long tail feathers!
The Fire Bird then pped its wings, flew towards Charles, and soonnded on his shoulder.
"You are too nice. So, what do you want to know?" A pleasant female voice came out of the bird''s mouth.
On the other hand, Charles flew up towards the Rebirth me spell model, closed his eyes, and shifted his attention towards the outside world.
"What are those zigzag lines within those streaks of Rebirth me?"
"Oh? They are essence rules. They are more like human body cells. If you want to conjure a single streak of a Rebirth Fire, you need to understand these rules and arrange them in an orderly manner before conjuring… Otherwise, you won''t seed." The Fire Bird said in a cold tone.
Meanwhile, Charles frowned deeply and asked another question.
"How many fire rules do I need toprehend if I want to create a ball of Rebirth me?"
"It''s not about fire rules, Human. It''s about the essence streaks." The bird paused for a moment and then added.
"The tear-like ball of fire has around 1,300 fire essence streaks. Each fire steak is unique on its own, and they united together to form this Red Tear."
Charles widened his eyes as he heard those words and then asked in curiosity.
"What is the strength of this Red Tear? Is it considered a spell? If so, what rank is it?"
"You are indeed a curious one." The Fire Bird let out a humming sound as it said those words and then added.
"You can think of this ''Red Tear'' as a Rank-6 spell. As long as you manage toprehend this full Red Tear, you can even move on your own in the space. But it''s not an easy matter, though."
"That''s why I''m asking for your help, FireBird," Charles responded calmly and then shifted his attention towards a single streak.
On the other hand, the Fire Bird poked his cheek using its beak and protested.
"I''m not a bird! I''m Midea."
Charles focused on a Rebirth me streak without paying any attention to the bird and soon zeroed his attention on a single fire rule. Then, he probed the zigzag line, analyzed its structure with the [Arcane Eyes] skill, and soon entered a deep enlightenment state.
He continued toprehend the first fire rule, second rule, third rule, and so on and finally sessfullyprehended a single fire essence streak on the 60th day!
At the same time, countless zigzag lines appeared inside his spell model and soon formed into a streak of Rebirth Fire. The fire streak circled inside the spell model and momentarily hovered in the middle.
"Comprehending a single fire essence took me more than two months. But I don''t know how much time has passed in Edhen." He muttered with a frown. Although he was still in deep space, he felt the gravity of this Rebirth Star might influence the time.
Meanwhile, Midea jumped on his head using her w-like legs and spoke.
"You don''t have to worry about the time dtion effect. Rebirth Star is known for slowing down the time around its surroundings, and that''s why it''s called one of the seven mysterious stars in the universe. Moreover, how did youprehend those thousands of rules in two months?" Midea''s voice was filled with full of confusion and curiosity.
''Oh? Now that I think about it, the Rebirth me indeed has the power to manipte the present time. No wonder.''
Although Charles was still skeptical about Midea''s im, he quickly tossed that thought away and continued toprehend the fire rules.
For him, this was more like a godsend opportunity. He didn''t dare to waste it.
Once again, he closed his eyes, shifted his attention towards the following rule, and started his work.
Days. Weeks. Months. Years. And finally, four years disappeared in a blink.
At the end of the fourth year, he managed toprehend theplete Red Tear!
It was an impossible achievement even for an Irregr Rank-5 Mage like him.
But the reason he seeded inprehending the whole Red Tear was due to him having many advantages. The first advantage was Midea''s presence in his Inner World. If she weren''t there to clear his doubts, he would still be in the middle ofprehending the fire rules.
The second advantage was his [Arcane Eyes] skill.
Then, the final advantage was his soul mutation. Although his soul hadn''t fully fused with his elemental form, he still received so many surprises.
Yes, his soul mutation not only increased his thought process to an unimaginable level, but it also gave him a new ability. No, it''s not an ability, but the upgraded version of wisdom power to perceive the surroundings. And, his control over his wisdom power had improved ten folds!
''I can move all the physical objects without any restrain in my soul!'' A smile appeared on his face.
Moreover, he could perceive the surrounding elements to a molecr level!
''I can also speed up the healing process.'' A smile crept on his face.
Then, he descended from the dark sky and soonnded on the destroyed elementalnd. Unfortunately, no fire-elemental energy appeared in his Inner World. When his soul shattered, his connection with the fire-elemental ne had also disappeared!
He had no elemental heart now!
A deep sigh leaked out of his mouth as he looked around the surroundings.
After those merged soul shards fused with his elemental form, his Inner World had long healed.
The strange cracks and voids had long disappeared and were reced with destroyed hills, craters, rocks, and sands. Unfortunately, there was novake, volcanic mountain, or even a single fire in the surroundings.
''In the end, I''ve been relying on the Elemental ne''s help all this time!'' As that thought crossed his mind, he subconsciously looked up at the sky and zeroed his gaze on the Rebirth me Spell Model.
Currently, it appeared more than 200 meters radius and looked more like an actual sun!
''From now on, I don''t need to rely on the Fire Elemental ne''s help to cast my Rebirth me spells.'' He chuckled.
After heprehended the Red Tear, he could conjure a ball of Rebirth me out of nothing. Not only that, but he also didn''t need any ne''s help to maintain his Elemental Form! It was the power of fire essence!
''Fire essence! I need toprehend the other six types of fire essences. The Chaos Fire, False Fire, Law Fire, Hell Fire, Soul Fire, and finally the Mind Fire and then move on without any outside force''s help.'' But Charles knew that it wasn''t an easy task.
''First, I should heal my soul and then return to Edhen World.'' He nodded inwardly and shifted his attention towards the outside world.
In a blink, he returned to his soul form!
At that moment, there were only a few cracks appeared all over his soul form. No, his soul form had changed entirely and appeared solidified.
''I feel no restrain from the present time.'' He nodded.
In truth, he could also manipte the surrounding ''Time'' to some extent. But, he still wasn''t powerful enough to move in the ''Time-Stop'' area.
Although his soul had mutated into the realm of Demi-Gods, his body, elemental form, and consciousness were at Rank-5 now!
''There is no need to rush things.'' He nodded inwardly, moved his foggy hand, and ced it on a specific cracked area.
Then, he conjured a simr red me and started healing his soul.
Another six months passed.
When Charles fused the final soul shard into his soul form, a bang appeared in the deepest part of his soul.
The next instant, his soul form continued to solidify and soon appeared simr to his original appearance.
Not only that, but his soul form also fused with his elemental form!
For a moment, he appeared in his soul form, then his elemental form, then his illusionary consciousness form, and finally his physical form!
He indeed didn''t lose his physical body!
